This AU may not be very popular, but I love it to pieces. It's about books and libraries and generally things I enjoy myself. I usually read all of them even if I don't know the fandoms. Which is why I decided to share some of my favourite fic, 15 fics for 6 fandoms.

BOOKSHOP!AU/LIBRARY!AU

DRAGON AGE

1. Title: Quiet in the Library Author: Salazar101Pairing(s) Iron Bull/Dorian Pavus, Cole, Varric TethrasRating: Explicit/NC-17Word Count: 11,599Warnings: -Summary: Dorian is the head Librarian in Skyhold's expansive city library. His current maintenance crew is absolutely getting fired as shelves in the reference section are snapping and falling apart. Dorian calls in a group of contractors, but only their boss, Iron Bull, shows up to do the work. A hulking Qunari who looks too good for his own good in a tank and tool belt. It starts with a night of drinking and goes places Dorian never could have imagined.

Why I loved it: Librarian!Dorian is one of the best things ever, and not very far from canon, really. I love how the author writes Dorian and Bull's conversations and all the banter as they try to work things out. And Cole's interactions with Dorian are lovely as well! I love this fic.

2. Title: When In Doubt, Game Night!Author: yarnandteaPairing(s) male!Hawke/Fenris, Anders, Isabela, MerrillRating: Teen and Up AudiencesWord Count: 6,387Warnings: -Summary: The best thing about working at Kirkwall Games, as far as Garrett Hawke is concerned, is getting to talk with his favorite customer on a regular basis. But he can't deny he'd love the chance to get to know Fenris a little bit better than their weekly chats in the store allow. So, game night? Game night!

Why I loved it: Fenris works at a library so technically it does count, right? I wanted to include it anyway. Garrett is so sweet when he's waiting for Fenris to visit the store and the random decision to organize a game night just so he could spend moretime with Fenris, aw, those two. I also like the mentions of Bran, Isabela being supportive and the general adorableness.

MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE/MARVEL

3. Title: Bookmarks Are For Nerds (It's Good You Are One)Author: andrea_deerPairing(s) Clint Barton/Phil CoulsonRating: General AudienceWord Count: 1,327Warnings: -Summary: One compilation of short stories later, he reached for a thick spy thriller that even in summary sounded so ridiculous he was unable to resist it. “Dramatically courageous spies, fainting love interests, wicked villains with over-drown speeches and sassy, nerdy side-kick – you will love it.” He blinked at the note, smiling slightly. This was quite unexpected.

Why I loved it:andrea_deer is amazing and she wrote this litle library!AU for me - and I love it to pieces :D Phil finds a bookmark in one of the books he reads and he's surprised to find out they're meant for him. It's adorable :D

Clint Barton always comes in five minutes before Phil is about to close said store.

Why I loved it: A Bookstore!AU written b me. I wanted to write it for a while and I'm really happy with the results. There are misunderstandings, Clint's friends being protective of him, Phil's friendship with Darcy and general adorableness.

Why I loved it: Clint owns a comic books store and Phil is a professor that visits said store often. It's sweet, nerdy and adorable. Phil is still Captain America fan (and Steve's fan), the team plays DnD and Clint and Phil meet at a convention. It's fun!

6. Title: once you live a good storyAuthor: pummelwhackPairing(s) Carol Danvers/Jessica Drew, Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson, James "Bucky" Barnes/Natasha Romanov, Kate Bishop/Cassie Lang, Clint BartonRating: MatureWord Count: 13,045Warnings: -Summary: Carol and Jessica redefine what it means to be happy, in the context of coffee, philosophy, and each other. Or, the one where Carol and Steve own a used bookstore, Sam runs the coffee shop next door, and Jessica searches for more than what life is currently offering her.

Why I loved it: Steve and Carol work in a bookstore togetherand this is where Carol meets Jess. I love their conversations, Carol recommending books Jess, the development of their relationship - I really love it all. And Sam is working in a coffee shop and Carol teasing him about Steve! And the friendship between Steve, Sam, Carol and Jess is awesome.

7. Title: Pen names, Plotbunnies, and Problematic First DatesAuthor: uofmdragonPairing(s) Clint Barton/Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Skye, Natasha Romanov, Wade WilsonRating: Teen And Up AudiencesWord Count: 6,246Warnings: -Summary: Clint Barton, author of the well known Kitsune series will be signing books at Books of Fury's Greenville location. Managers Phil Coulson and Melinda May plan on having extra copies of all his books on hand, including his latest, Winter Winds. Phil Coulson states that the author will be available to sign during regular business hours, but will be taking a break for lunch.

Why I loved it: That one was a lot of fun to read. Clint organizes book signing tour in Phil's and Melinda's bookstore, Phil is Clint's fan, there are misunderstandings because Clint takes his writing seriously... I like this plotline a lot. Also, Melinda is awesome and Wade is... Wade.

8. Title: People Who Have Managed to Stay AliveAuthor: Tam_CranverPairing(s) Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson, James "Bucky" Barnes, Natasha Romanov, minor charactersRating: General AudiencesWord Count: 19,363Warnings: -Summary: It's the start of a new school year for Sam Wilson. Though quite a bit is the same--the job, his friends, that jerk Brock Rumlow on the Library Faculty Council--Steve, the new Manuscripts Librarian he meets at his favorite campus bar, brings unexpected changes.

Why I loved it: Library!AU. I usually don't read fics about pre-serum Steve, but this time I managed to overlook it, because the fic is so good! I love Bucky's friendship with Sam and Steve, how happy Bucky was that he could see Steve again, Steve is his boyscout self and helping people, he and Sam talk about art... it's a lovely fic.

9. Title: this is your beating heartAuthor: haipollaiPairing(s) James "Bucky" Barnes/Sam Wilson, Carol Danvers/Jessica Drew, Steve Rogers, Kate Bishop, ELi Bradley Rating: Teen And Up AudiencesWord Count: 4,271Warnings: -Summary: Carol leans against the still newspapered door and watches her friend turn slowly in a circle. The space feels big and empty. It's only broken up by support pillars and a broken partition from when there was an office in there. And Steve Rogers right in the middle."This is crazy Carol," Steve says. She can tell he's doing his best to keep his voice neutral, he's not very good at hiding his emotions."Yea, well," she shrugs, not really having an argument against it. "If you don't want to be part of it, I get it. Really I do."

Why I loved it: Steve and Carol work together in Carol's bookstore, Sam works in a coffee shop and he's supportive of Carol's new business, and Carol didn't know Sam and Bucky know each other. It's fun and I like how much it focuses on friendships. Also, I love Jess and Carol's first meeting.
